How can the current time be set for certificate validation #114
Description
Activity
Hi, mbed-tls uses system time (time()) in embedded systems with linux or similar. However as ESP / Arduino etc is bare metal and doesn't have a real time clock we have to get the time from NTP or from GSM.
If you set the time with settimeofday, future SSL/TLS handshakes and certificate validations will use the new time.
Great. So then the process of
- connect to internet (LTE/WiFi)
- sync time
- connect to server
is the sensible steps to take. Would that mean setting time with settimeofday() far in the future past will cause the SSL/TLS handshake to fail?
settimeofdayaffect the time used by mbedtls to verify certificates validity?
